Days after Breaking up with My Ex

What's going on?

The car roared past, and soon Ding Ge and Guzheng disappeared from my sight. Even if I turned my head, I couldn't see them. I could only see the cafe getting further and further away from us.

I can't calm down anymore!

That scene... Suddenly appeared in front of my eyes, making me unprepared, it was really too unexpected!

My brain was spinning like a machine, but I didn't think much. My brain was muddled and I couldn't figure out how the two of them got together.

Although my relationship with Guzheng was fake, Ding Ge didn't know.

So now the two of them face to face is basically a meeting between my former and current!

They would never sit together in a friendly manner!

Even though they would sit at a table peacefully when there were many people, there was no way they could meet in private.

And what did I see?

Am I overthinking that it's not a big deal for Ding Ge to meet Guzheng? After all, Guzheng had sent Ding Ge home before, and we went to the hospital with Ding Ge when she broke her bone.

But I still find it very strange!

I can't figure it out!

"What are you looking at?" Hu Zi turned to look at me and asked.

"Nothing."

I shook my head and stopped thinking about what happened.

At this moment, Hu Zi said, "Xing Yun, I have a plan recently."

"What plan?" I looked at Hu Zi and asked.

"What do you think about opening another restaurant?" Hu Zi smiled and said.

"It's too urgent." I can understand Hu Zi's determination to make the restaurant bigger. "We still owe someone a lot of money. We have to pay it back anyway."

I don't want to owe someone money all the time, not to mention this debt is connected with a secret.

Hu Zi said, "Well, yes, the money must be returned! But what do you think about opening another restaurant?"

"Yes, of course. There's nothing we can't do, as long as we have enough money." I asked, "What kind of restaurant do you want to open? Is it similar to ours?"

"I really want to make' Xing Yun' a brand. What do you think of this kind of medium sized hotel and the star-rated Xing Yun hotel?"

"It's not easy to build a brand. It takes years to build and build." I looked back at the traffic outside the window.

I looked at Hu Zi again and said, "The most important thing for us is to calm down. Step by step, we can't eat a fat man in one bite, can we?"

Hu Zi pulled out a faint smile from the corner of his mouth. His eyes seemed to have a deep meaning. Hu Zi didn't answer me, and I didn't say anything.

...

In the evening, Di Ming came to pick us up. I called Guzheng. She said she went directly to the hotel that she booked, so we didn't wait for her. We got in the car and went directly to the hotel that di ming booked.

My cousin didn't show much emotion, neither happiness nor sadness, but because of the show, the atmosphere wasn't too awkward.

After arriving at the hotel, Di Ming went up first with her cousin and Zhan. I stood downstairs and waited for Guzheng. Secondly, it was convenient for Di Ming and her cousin to communicate more.

I stood in front of the hotel and looked at the colorful lights on the hotel. The lights were shining like flowing water and looked very beautiful with a dreamy color.

I couldn't help but think of Hu Zi's words. We had discussed them before, and I couldn't help but imagine what would happen if the words on the hotel were changed to' Xing Yun hotel'.

Will there be such a day?

I asked myself in my heart.

After a while, Guzheng didn't come. I looked at the plants planted in front of the hotel in boredom, but I suddenly remembered what I saw this afternoon.

Undeniably, knowing that my heart was still filled with deep curiosity.

I think it's better to ask Guzheng and see how she answers when she comes.

In fact, I can call Ding Ge and ask her, but it's the same for everyone. I'll see Guzheng first, so ask her.

Guzheng would be here soon, but Guzheng didn't show up for more than half an hour.

Looks like she's really busy!

Guzheng hurried up to me and said apologetically, "I'm sorry I'm late."

"Not too late."

The two of us started walking towards the hotel. Guzheng said as he walked, "Actually, you don't have to wait for me. You just have to eat first. You're not an outsider. Be polite."

"It's not too late. I'm not hungry anymore."

Maybe she was always walking in a hurry in the company. Guzheng was very fast. Maybe she was used to it. I could see that she wanted to hurry up because she was late. I slowed down and said, "Guzheng, walk so fast."

Guzheng didn't seem to realize how fast she was walking at all. She froze for a moment, slowed down her steps, looked at me and smiled. "Am I walking fast?" She asked."

"Do people in your company walk like this?" I asked faintly.

A trace of frustration appeared on Guzheng's face. She put her hand on her forehead and replied, "Ah, have I become the same as them?"

"Why? You're much prettier than them."

Guzheng and I went up the stairs. Guzheng smiled and didn't care.

I glanced at Guzheng and asked, "Are you busy?"

"It's not easy anyway." Guzheng joked.

I frowned and casually said, "I saw you and Ding Ge today."

"Ah?" Guzheng looked at me in surprise.

I smiled and continued, "I saw you two at the coffee shop."

"Oh."

Guzheng's tone was particularly flat, as if this was the most normal thing, and she continued walking upstairs.

I had a lot of questions to ask, but Guzheng's tone embarrassed me. I smiled and asked, "What are you two doing?"

"Oh, a business partnership." Guzheng's tone was still flat.

I was stunned again. I didn't expect Guzheng to give me such an answer.

Business cooperation?

What kind of business cooperation would the two of them have?

It's quite possible that Ding Ge and Guzheng have business contacts. After all, Ding Ge is now a leader of the company, and Guzheng is in charge of a company. Business contacts are naturally possible, but I really didn't guess.

"Trade secrets?" I laughed and asked casually.

"Not bad." Guzheng didn't seem to want to talk about it.

But I was really curious about their cooperation, but Guzheng didn't want to talk about it, and I didn't ask. After all, it's a business matter, and many things are taboo.

The two of them walked to the private room. Guzheng said apologetically again, "I'm sorry I'm late."

"Nothing." Di Ming said.

I took a look at Di Ming and my cousin. They looked very calm. Nothing should have happened. Then, we started ordering and everyone started chatting casually.

After the dishes were served, we began to eat and talk.

At this moment, Di Ming inadvertently mentioned something. He pinched the cup in his hand and said, "Xing Yun, Guzheng, since you got engaged, you haven't had time to celebrate. Today, I will replace wine with tea. I wish you both happiness!"

"Are you two engaged? When?" Cousin asked in surprise.

Not only was my cousin surprised, but I was also shocked, very shocked!

Am I engaged? But I don't know!

When did I get engaged to Guzheng? What the hell is going on?

But I could only squeeze out a smile. Guzheng looked at me and there was a message in her eyes. She raised the glass in her hand, and I also smiled and raised my own glass. At the same time, I said to my cousin, "Not long."

We all raised the glasses in our hands, and Di Ming and cousin gave us their blessings again.

Throughout the rest of the dinner, I was immersed in the shock of being engaged. Guzheng's eyes showed a little apprehension, but now we can't say anything. We still have to pretend that we are in a good relationship and that we are happy after the engagement.

This meal was a little... Quite peaceful and pleasant!

After dinner, Di Ming, cousin and Zhan got into Di Ming's car, and I got into Guzheng's car.

As they left, we got into the car too. When the door was closed, a cool atmosphere filled the car.

Guzheng looked at me nervously, but I didn't question her. I just closed my eyes and lay down tired.

Guzheng seemed to sigh. After a while, she started the car and drove me to the Xingyun hotel.

On the way, Guzheng finally couldn't help but say, "Xing Yun, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you!"

I sighed and asked, "That's why you lied to your parents about the fake engagement, and it was your own fake engagement?"

Guzheng said guiltily, "Xing Yun, I can't do this either. I didn't tell you because I didn't want this to bother you."

"But you should tell me, or else when others say it, I don't know I'm engaged." I said with a bitter smile.

"Xing Yun, are you angry with me?" Guzheng asked softly.

I exhaled but didn't answer.

"I'm sorry, Xing Yun!" Guzheng said with great sincerity, "I really didn't expect to bring you into such a deep hole. I really didn't expect it to turn out like this. It was like a train out of control, I... I really hope you can forgive me, fake engagement, this is the only way I can think of, but I know you don't want to do this, I don't want to trouble you, so I made up a lie myself. But you should think about the bright side. Our fake engagement is over, so you don't have to go to the company for the time being."

What Guzheng said was especially true. She must have been forced to do it. I wasn't angry with her, but I still felt sorry for her.

I sighed and said to her, "Nothing."
